UNC Defense v. O-Line

another poster who couldnt wait to sober up before posting...

I don't think Al. Defensive line is all that great.. they lost some big defensive players last year. but while I'm watching the replay of our game I am real impressed with our first half defense especially with Nevis. UNC wasn't missing any offensive lineman...

Ok then, you football knowledge king, who has more a more talented front 7 than UNC? Withou suspensions, that is the best we would have played all year. With the suspensions, they are slightly behind Bama and on par with UF. Who else, idiot?

Yes they were a bunch of scrubs.

the front 7 LSU faced was really talented and well coached. north carolina wasn't as bad off as people make them out to be (on defense).

Moss was a 5 star player
Coples was a highly recruited 4 star player
McAdoo was a top DT and top 100 player.
Zach Brown was a 4 star player
Reddick was a 4 star player
Two 1st or 2nd round picks in Carter and Sturdivant


On offense, Boyd was a top 45 player in the country. Jones was a 5 star player. And Johs Adams was a top 200 player and 4 star player

To discount their performance because of the suspensions is ridiculous.

I said before the game, it's not like 13 guys were hurt and replaced on gameday. UNC knew what was coming and those subs were practicing there azzes off for us. Those guys played with a lot of heart. Sometimes your foe is most dangerous when backed into a corner.

In many ways, Butch Davis had an easier task preparing his team for LSU, than Miles had preparing LSU for UNC. When a team has nothing to lose, they can play loose and actually do some things that they might not normally try. Conversely, when everyone is expecting you to blow someone out, the team can play tight, and you might be a bit more conservative than normal for fear of making a mistake and giving the other team confidence.

You will never change their opinions. They are dead set on causing enough derision and negativity towards Miles, that it brings the team down, and they get what they want. And the F ing national media especialy Herbie are eating eat it up and laughing at us. The coaches did not cause the errors in this game. Just STFU support your team and encourage them and see what happens. If they emplode becuase of coaching you get your wish.
